It will discuss if current macroeconomic statistics are still adequate in picking up the effects brought about by investment in digital tools, the consumption of free digital services, new forms of transacting in goods and services (B2B and B2C), and other phenomena associated with the digital economy. 09:30-10:00 Opening session Speakers: Mary Veronica Tovšak Pleterski (DG Economic and Financial Affairs – European Commission, Director for Investment, growth and structural reforms) & John Verrinder (Eurostat, acting Director for macro-economic statistics) 10:00-10:30 Keynote: Conceptual and statistical challenges of measuring the digital economy Speaker: Nadim Ahmad (OECD) 10:30-11:00 Coffee break 11:00-11:30 The impact of digitalisation on growth and productivity – a UK perspective Speaker: Rebecca Riley (UK Economic Statistics Centre of Excellenceï) 11:30-12:00 The digital economy from a Finnish perspective Speaker: Heli Koski (Aalto University and ETLA Institute, Finland) 12:00-13:15 Lunch break 13:15-13:45 Measuring and treatment of digital platforms in National Accounts – Concrete example: Measuring Airbnb in the NL Speaker: Leo Hiemstra (CBS, Netherlands) 13:45-14:15 Digitalisation: A business statistics perspective Speaker: Carsten Olsson (Eurostat - European Commission, Head of Unit for European Business statistics) 14:15-14:45 Mapping digitalisation: The Digital Economy and Society Index Speaker: Balazs Zorenyi (DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology – European Commission) 14:45-15:15 Coffee break 15:15-15:45 Growth, Inequality, and Redistribution in the Age of Automation Speaker: Phillipp Pfeiffer (DG Economic and Financial Affairs – European Commission) 15:45-16:30 Panel session: Measuring the digital economy: where should we improve and how do we prepare for the future Moderator: John Verrinder (Eurostat – European Commission) Panelists: Nadim Ahmad (OECD), Fabrizia Benini (DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology – European Commission), Rebecca Riley ((Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence, United Kingdom) & Werner Röger (DG Economic and Financial Affairs – European Commission) 16:30-16:45 Closing session 14 N EW T ECHNIQUES AND T ECHNOLOGIES FOR S TATISTICS 2019

09:30-13:00 Satellite Event - Main findings and looking forward JENK Organisers: Fabio Bacchini (Istat, Italy) & Monica Pratesi (Univeristy of Pisa, Italy) MAKing Sustainable development and WELL-being frameworks work for policy analysis (MAKSWELL) is a project financed in H2020. MAKSWELL aims to extend and harmonize indicators able to capture the main characteristics of the ‘Beyond GDP’ approach proposing a new framework that includes them in the evaluation of the public policies. At the same time MAKSWELL improves the existing well-being and sustainable indicators by using new data collection tools and modern statistical methods to have timely and accurate data and by combining new data sources (big data) with traditional ones especially where there are data gaps. The production of local estimates of poverty and living conditions are an example of these objectives. At a macro level the project provides a framework that include specific measures for well-being in the traditional macro econometric models. The project explores also the relationship among well-being and sustainable indicators with policy evaluation. Scope of the satellite event is to disseminate the research results of the project, encouraging the floor discussion on them, sharing the research experiences and promoting interactive discussions with invited keynote speakers. The discussion will be on the research results on monitoring of Sustainable Development Goals, their indicators at regional level using non-traditional data sources and nowcasting. Other particular issues will be tackled by specific paper presentation of MAKSWELL members. Participants will be invited to discuss the experiments done by the partners, challenges and opportunities of new sources, frameworks and methods for official statistics that aim to provide innovative policy support frameworks in “Beyond GDP” perspective.

Conference on New Techniques and Technologies for official Statistics (NTTS 2019) ‘New Techniques and Technologies for Statistics’ (NTTS) is an international biennial scientific conference series organised by Eurostat on new techniques and methods for official statistics, and the impact of new technologies on statistical collection, production and dissemination systems. NTTS 2019 (the 10th edition of the NTTS series) will take place in Brussels from 12-14 of March 2019, with satellite events on the 11 and 15 of March. The purpose of NTTS conferences is both to allow the presentation of results from currently on-going research and innovation projects in official statistics and to stimulate and facilitate the preparation of new innovative projects, with the aim of improving and enhancing the quality and usefulness of official statistics, as well as to prepare activities related to research in statistics. The target audience includes the official statistics R&D community at large: colleagues from statistical institutes, academia, European institutions and actors from the private sphere.
